FACTBOX-The oil majors' shrinking refining capacity

May 17 (Reuters) - Oil majors have led the divestment of refining capacity as refining margins have collapsed from record levels in 2008.

The following is a table of equity oil refining capacity held by ExxonMobil (XOM.N), Total (TOTF.PA), BP (BP.L), and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L), Chevron (CVX.N) and ConocoPhilipps (COP.N).

Information is drawn from the companies, including their reports and websites.

Figures for crude distillation capacity expressed in thousand barrels per day unless specified. They are the most recent available figures, dating back to no earlier than 2009.

They show the year in which refining capacity in barrels per day (bpd) reached a peak and the percentage decline from that level. The scale of the fall and the percentage changes are calculated by Reuters. Companycurrent+ peak/ capacity Geographical base
